"I was a comedian before then. I got the job indirectly as I was doing Harry Hill's first TV show.

"One character was an Egyptian mummy and people said 'don't you feel uncomfortable' but I didn't and a man who worked on that show was responsible for the Teletubbies so I auditioned for Tinky Winky and got the part."

The comedy night is now on its fifth event and organisers say it has already sold out.

Organiser Graham McLusky said there are also plans for the night to come back.

He said: "We have a nice eclectic mix for people this time.

"We try to do it in such a way that everyone is very different and no one repeats what everyone has been saying.

"Everybody is completely fresh and they all have something new to say.

"We are going to do another one in February either at the middle or end of the month."

Steve Rimmer is the UK's only bomb disposal comedian. He often tells audiences about what it is like to be a bomb disposal engineer and how he travels around the country looking for Second World War bombs left behind from the war.

He has been described as "instantly likeable, funny and edgy."

The event will take place at the George Hotel, Leadenham, on October 20 at 7.30pm.
